Reinvented Rattan

I've noticed a trend lately, one that I just might have had on my mind ;).  Did you spot it in the latest Lonny and House Beautiful? From a layer of fur to a fresh coat of minty paint, I love how these designers have reinvented rattan. A look that most people would relegate to a sun or patio room has at the hands of someone's fantastic imagination made its way to the mainstream. I'm obsessed!

pssst!! Stay tuned, I just might have a reinvented surprise for you over at the social!

Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn

I had a lovely little lunch today at the brand new Design Sponge office. Grace and Amy hosted a group of us biz owner ladies and it was nice to casually chat with such an inspiring, like-minded group! The space even in its "work in progress" stage was awesome in all its lofty goodness with the unexpectedly perfect touches you would imagine to find in the HQ of such a creative powerhouse.  I can't wait to see it in its finished glory!

Polka Dot Rug

These delicious paintings by Bella Foster got me thinking- how charming would a polka dot rug be? It would definitely take a certain swagger to avoid from looking too elementary. I'm thinking playful sophistication! I'm in no need of a rug, but I just had to shop around to see if I could find a dotted variety. Et voila! Could you do it?

Happy Weekending!

TGIF y'all! What do you have going on this weekend? After quite the red letter night last weekend, Alan and I are purposely doing as much of nothing as possible. Isn't it funny how your recovery time is directly proportional to your age? Perhaps we'll hunt down the ultimate bagel or maybe even manage to culture ourselves at an art fair, but most likely we'll be doing a lot of this :)

Happy Weekending to you!

p.s. Did you see my Sedgewick bar cart? I sent her out by the bevy this afternoon, and I can't wait for all my socials to get them!
